On the night above, my friend and I were driving home after a high school basketball game. We saw a bright light off to the Northwest heading straight towards us at a slow rate of speed. I pulled the car over and we just watched. As it got closer, we started to get afraid. As it flew about 2,000 feet overhead, we could see a large football field-sized rectangular object with white lights underneath. I turned the car around to follow it and it accelerated at a tremendous rate of speed and was gone within a few seconds towards the Southeast. I have NEVER seen anything like it before or since.

News reports the next day stated others had seen it and that it was a Russian satellite or booster rocket re-entering the atmosphere and crashed in the Gulf of Mexico. I never believed that explanation.
